Hellenistically

/ˌhɛləˈnɪstɪkəli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner related to or characteristic of Hellenism or Greek cultural influence.

Etymology

From hellenistical plus -ly (adverb formation). It allows hellenistical concepts to be used in describing actions, manners, or processes rather than just things.

Kelly Says

When historians describe how a city 'hellenistically transformed' or something happened 'hellenistically,' they're describing a specific kind of cultural change—one where Greek influence didn't destroy local cultures but blended with them in fascinating ways.
